Step 1

Remove the stuffing from the hot pepper and place it on the side of your plate with your dinner fork, and cut the pepper in pieces with your steak knife. Another option is to cut the stuffed pepper in half lengthwise by placing your dinner fork in the stuffing to hold the pepper in place while cutting with a knife.
